Description - KillEmAll



KillEmAll.scr is a tiny tool Now included in D7, but available for download here as a separate resource for those interested, or who have downloaded the full D7 package prior to recent versions, and that release does not have KillEmAll included.

KillEmAll has one purpose, to terminate every process on your computer except essential Windows Processes.

The underlying idea is that when you have malware preventing you from running applications (like D7) you can launch KillEmAll to terminate that malware before it has a chance to terminate D7 or your other tool of preference.

Admittedly, KillEmAll isn’t perfect – it too can be stopped by the malware – but hopefully it will kill the malware processes before they kill it.

In my testing, occasionally I’ve had to run KillEmAll several times before it was able to terminate the malware – what happens is KillEmAll gets busy terminating legitimate processes while the malware finds and terminates it. But luckily, after several launches of KillEmAll, it was able to finally terminate the malware! From there, I was able to launch D7 and finish the cleanup. But as always, your mileage may vary.

KillEmAll is included in the latest version of D7.zip but can be downloaded here by itself, for those who don’t use D7 or already have D7 without KillEmAll.
